Aye, equal chance of both coming back, then Holden all day (though both would be in my six - or four as it would be :D), I just think pea-head is done.

I'm sure there'd be a lot of change if we were to also have a "Wheater when he was knocking on the door for an England spot at Boro" and a "Beckford when he hit 30+ at Leeds" too!

We're obviously all going off what the players are like now, Holden has no chance of being the player he was in my opinion.

In that case. I'd STILL have Holden before Spearing. As I said he's been massively disappointing since we paid money for him.

Spearing
Bogdan

There are so many if's and but's to this, but on potential its hard to look past the first three of Holden, Lee and Mavies. The problem is, one looks like a perma-crock, the other like a mostly perma-crock, and the third has never been right since a devastating injury over two years ago. Is luck allowed to play a part in proceedings?

Beyond those three, I like the cut of Medo's jib, and (dare I even say it?) Tim Ream is starting to look like he earns his living playing football. And I wish to god that Beckford consistently looked like the player he can be. There's a promotion team in there somewhere, its whether it will come out is the problem.

Oh I dunno. Late last season, we consistently avoided defeat. Early this season, we consistently avoiding victories... :?

Had a read through this whilst wondering if folk would still go with the choice they made originally.

I'm sticking with my own six:

Bogdan
M.Davies
Beckford
Kamara
Tierney
Hall

Who's seen enough to change their opinion?

my six were:

Mavis
Medo
Spearing
Baptiste
Beckford
Hall


I'd still be happy with that list.

so I pass the CAPS smug-about-Beckford test..

however - (interestingly) - CAPS himself didn't pick Beckford in his 6 - he could only think of one, namely, Medo...

I can't remember what I said originally about Beckford. I'm chuffed to bits he's scoring now. If he's happy in a Wanderers shirt, happy with what Df's doing then I'm not going to complain

Medo is going to be integral I think to DF's counter attacking style game, be interesting to see how Holden would fit into this system later on or even Mavies
Pfffft.
